Charming Earlyish 19th Century Hand-painted Papier Mache Snuff Box with Pear and Cherries antique flapper mask Paper flowersSo pretty, a snuff box and a little hand painted still life in one. And the best orange. Earlyish 19th century I believe, lacquered papier mache. 2 5 8" d x 1" t. One old, clean split to the side of the lid as documented and just light general wear, stable and sound. Last two photos show it next to second snuff box found along with it, listed separately.
